Rachel (Bruning) Clemens, a sophomore art major at Dordt, was presented
with a $200 Savings Bond March 28 at Dordt College during a campus
blood drive. Clemens was also presented with the first t\_shirt bearing
her design. \line
The Blood Bank gives out thousands of t\_shirts each year through
its \uc1\u8220?Donate 4 Life\uc1\u8221? program, in which donors who
give four times in a calendar year are awarded a free t\_shirt.

Dordt College and several other schools in the area used the Siouxland
Community Blood Bank\uc1\u8217?s design contest as a class project.
Dordt\uc1\u8217?s graphic design instructor, David Versluis, said
each year students in his class are assigned a trademark design project.
Their objective is to communicate the nature of an organization with
a design that appeals to the public.
\par}
{\pard\sa220\li0\ri0\ql\plain
Students were enthused about this project, said Versluis, because
it had the added incentive feature of being produced and providing
genuine community service to a very worthwhile organization. . \uc1\u8220?My
main advice to students was to keep their designs visually strong,
uncluttered, and appropriate.\uc1\u8221?

{\pard\sa220\li0\ri0\ql\plain
Siouxland Blood Bank said the annual design contest gives donors the
opportunity to showcase the designs from talented students and endorse
their own commitment of regular blood donations when they proudly
wear the Donate 4 Life t\_shirts.
